1 · What the graph read from it

What it found

Each row is one number read from the abstract, on the scale the paper reported it, with its interval. Left of the dashed line favours the treatment, right favours the comparator. Under each row is the sentence it came from. New to these charts? A ten-minute tutorial.

The abstract states no effect estimate the extractor could read, or names no intervention and outcome on the map, so this paper lights no cell and moves no belief. It is still indexed, cited and linked below.

2 · The registry

The trial behind it

Trials whose registry record cites this paper, or whose number appears in the abstract. A trial that started after this paper was published is citing it as background, not reporting it.

Neither the registry nor the abstract names a trial number. If this is a trial report, that itself is worth knowing.

Abstract

Diffuse large B-cell lymphoma (DLBCL) is a heterogeneous disorder. Prognostic factors include genomic alterations and cell-of-origin (COO) subtypes, even though they cannot fully predict treatment response. MicroRNAs (miRNAs) deregulated in patient tumours and blood are promising non-invasive biomarkers. Several circulating miRNAs were found to be correlated with progression-free survival (PFS), independently of other prognosticators. However, miRNA signatures, rather than individual miRNAs, represent more reliable biomarkers and a better mirror of the disease. In this study, we identified circulating miRNAs differentially expressed between R-CHOP refractory and responding subjects by small-RNA sequencing on serum from 33 DLBCL patients. Among the identified miRNAs, the combined expression of three of them improved the predictive performance and was correlated with PFS. Two out of three miRNAs, miR-421 and miR-324-5p, were also differentially expressed in tumour tissues based on treatment response. Overexpressing these miRNAs reduced cell proliferation, viability and resistance to R-CHOP in the germinal centre B-like COO subtype. EGLN1 and TXNRD1, regulators of oxygen metabolism and redox homeostasis, were identified as miRNA targets and the silencing or inhibition of these genes impaired cell viability and induced ferroptosis. These results support the application of a two-miRNA signature and its targets for novel combined therapeutic interventions in DLBCL.
